HAHA... man USC fans are insufferable... this is regarding USC supporters and broadcasters saying every single thing that can excuse them for how bad they got their asses kicked last night.

Here's a fun fact-

USC gives the most financial aid because, (and not to be racist,) most of their incoming freshman on scholarships are blacks who came from the ghetto that know how to play football, and never did well in high school... thats why they couldn't get into UCLA or another top-academic rated school.

For example: dwayne jarret said he wanted to go to Notre Dame, but couldn't get in due to his academic performance... so he went to USC.

it's sad when racist comments are made. The fact is, UCLA should look at the problem the UC system is facing--less than 100 entering freshmen at UCLA are black. That's sad. It's also no reason to suggest that USC is "second choice"--SATs are about 85 points higher at USC and the admissions rate is about one percent tougher at SC. And this is NOT to denigrate UCLA which is a fine school. I just think that when it comes to kids going after the dream of a college education we need some fairness and keep the racial crap out of it. Certainly success in football should have no bearing on academic achievement (except the money it SHOULD bring in to fund programs).

Affirmative action is not working, no matter how you cut it. If you look at underrepresented minority (Black, Hispanic, Native American) GPAs in both undergrad and professional schools, they are significantly below their peer groups. Some alienated whites and Asians would say that it is innate ability. I would say that it is a combination of cultural factors and the fact that our education system is not a pure meritocracy. When you ask an urban kid from a poor family to take the SATs without any prep, take all of the 0 APs offered at his high school, and apply to colleges with 1 college counselor for 3 high schools of 4,000 students each in his district while the suburban kid has the $1,500 SAT prep course, monthly meetings with the college counselor, and 15 APS to choose from, there is a built-in system of privilege that people seem to believe is fair. By the way, I am an Indian-American student at UCLA who got the benefit of this system, so I have no incentive to voice negative opinions about it.

The only reason why USC SAT scores are "higher" than UCLA's is because USC takes the COMBINED SAT score from MULTIPLE sittings whereas UCLA takes it from just ONE sitting. For example, my USC SAT score was a 1430 but my UCLA SAT score was a 1350. Get it right you UCLA rejects!

Hey Bruins. Did you realize that UCLA is enrolling 96 African American students? That would be 2% of the freshman class. I would be interested to know how many of that 96 are athletes. But I just want to know how you expect your university and your student body to grow with 96 African American students out of over 4,500?!

UCLA rejects? USC accepts less people than ucla and has a lower admission rate than ucla. And USC is not an isolated demographic of upper middle class asian and white living in the bubble they call westwood unlike ucla.
